Taking a break
From switching on
Watching, listening to
Thinking about,
Talking about
The news.
I only wanted
Some good news
Not poetic justice,
But still the crazy egos
Play mind games
With each other
And the planet.
Not with me though
I feel strangely free
I'm out of the loop
And if a nuclear missile
Came down now
I wouldn't know
A thing about it.
